Solutions — Edge AI Fabric

Inference at thepoint of action.

Distributed AI architecture that brings inference, decision-making, and learning to the edge — where data is born

SOLUTION OVERVIEW

A reference architecture.
Not a point solution.

FULL-STACK BLUEPRINT

Edge AI Fabric is a distributed architecture that brings artificial intelligence processing closer to data sources. It enables real-time inference, reduced latency, and localised decision-making — transforming every edge node into an intelligent computing asset. This is not a product; it is a full-stack reference architecture that composes Planck Red platforms and partner technologies into a deployable, scalable AI intelligence layer.

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

How the layerscompose into a system.

Each layer is independently deployable and interoperates through Quanta Cloud orchestration. Together they form a complete, production-ready architecture — not a collection of disconnected products.

ARCHITECTURE STACK — TOP TO BOTTOM
LAYER 01 — DATA & SENSING
Sources & Streams
IoT & Sensor NetworksVideo & Surveillance FeedsIndustrial Machines & OTUser & Application Events

Raw data streams from devices, sensors, cameras, and systems — the inputs that need to be processed locally without round-tripping to the cloud.

LAYER 02 — EDGE COMPUTE
Q5 + Q10
Real-Time AI InferenceLocal Model ExecutionEdge Data ProcessingvSense AI Operations

Q5 nodes handle inference at the edge. Q10 powers AI model training and larger compute workloads — both operating locally for sovereignty and speed.

LAYER 03 — ORCHESTRATION & INTELLIGENCE
Quanta Cloud + Partners
Quanta Cloud OrchestrationSwissVault AI Data StorageFireBreak Cyber IsolationGlobal Model Sync

Quanta Cloud manages the full lifecycle — model updates, workload placement, telemetry. SwissVault retains AI training data. FireBreak isolates critical inference nodes from cyber threats.

COMPOSITION PRINCIPLE

Planck Red solutions are not assembled from off-the-shelf parts. Each layer is purpose-built and pre-integrated — reducing deployment complexity and eliminating the integration risk that breaks most enterprise infrastructure projects.

DEPLOYMENT MODEL

Deploy the full stack, or start with a single layer and extend. Quanta Cloud ensures all components remain orchestrated and visible regardless of how many layers are active.

PARTNER INTEGRATION

FireBreak, SwissVault, and vSense AI are embedded at the architecture level — not bolted on. They participate in the orchestration fabric and are managed through Quanta Cloud alongside infrastructure components.

STACKABLE EFFICIENCY

Each Q5 or Q10 unit is a self-contained compute building block. Stack units to match workload demand — no overprovisioning, no stranded capacity. Power, cooling, and compute scale linearly.

SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

Inference workloads run inside isolated execution zones. FireBreak cyber isolation ensures that a compromised edge node cannot propagate laterally — every node is a security boundary.

BUSINESS VALUE

Measurable outcomes,not architectural promises.

Real-Time Inference

AI decisions happen at the source — no latency from cloud round-trips. Sub-millisecond response for industrial, safety, and financial use cases.

Reduced Cloud Dependency

Compute stays local. Lower egress costs, lower cloud spend, and greater infrastructure control across distributed environments.

Sovereign AI

Data never leaves the jurisdiction. AI models run within sovereign boundaries — compliant with data residency and privacy mandates.

Scalable Deployments

Add Q5 nodes as AI demand grows. The architecture scales horizontally without re-engineering the platform.
